If you moved to a new city, and you didn't have an opportunity to meet the women at work, plus you don't know ANYONE who lives in this new city....would you venture out alone to meet girls ?? I am unfortunately in this situation and it SUX !!! I am kinda embarrased to go out to bars alone. What should I do ?

I would see that as the best way to meet women! When you are out with the guys, you have to conform to the group mentality... when out by yourself, you can be yourself.

Wow..interesting. Do you typically just chill up at the bar alone until you see a woman you are interested in ? Do you just talk to the bar-tender while you wait ?

I work in the IT dept. I have a small handful of fellow employees. They are all married men who don't even go out for happy-hour drinks.

Get a dog, take it for walks, especially at dog parks if they have them.

EASY way to meet women.

Depends on my mood. I usually am one of the guys at the pool table. If I'm interested in a woman, I'll just drop a few looks and wait for them. I hate doing the chasing. If they're not interested then they'll stay away and leave me to my game ;)

Go to church on Sunday. There are always tons of women there just waiting to pounce on a single guy. Just because they go to church doesn't mean they aren't wild the rest of the time. I've been married many years now and that's how I met up with my wife, after sampling the other wares first, of course.

I've considered doing this. Let me know how it works! :D

Besides... what have you got to lose? You may actually meet people and either A) get laid, or B) make a friend so you won't have to go out alone anymore.

I've contemplated this as well. I just wonder if I could be comfortable at a bar or club by myself. I know other people do it...

As a female, I'd just like to say this works! :)

Any suggestions on how to pick the right bar ? Trial and error I assume. I am in Memphis, TN and there are a TON of bars.

i tend to stay away from the 'college' bars myself, hmmm maybe that is the problem, but anyway, go to a bar where you are the most attractive dude there. If i can find a bar like that, chances are you can.

but seriously, depends on what you like. I like conversation more, so i tend to head to Irish pubs. Some people like dancing more, so they hit up a club/bar. Some people, like Beau, are more into just hanging out playing pool or something. depends on what you are looking for.
